The Greatest Gift #ChristmasIsForSharing

Wednesday, 7 December 2016

Christmas is the perfect time for us to all spend time together and enjoy each others company, Sainsbury's has just launched a delightful Christmas Advert on the very same theme of families spending time together over Christmas. The Greatest Gift advert is a cool animation featuring vocals by James Corden that tells the story of Dave, a hard-working loving Dad, who realises that the greatest gift he can give this Christmas is his time, Dave has a fantastic idea after seeing a gingerbread man in his daughter's bedroom.

To celebrate the release of this advert Sainsbury's has also released a The Greatest Gift smartphone animation film kit for children, the box doubles as a reversible stage, and inside is a backdrop and press our puppets, stickers to enable you can create your very own characters, also inside is Dave and his family in press-out cardboard characters, so you can use to create you very own animation,the kit comes complete with an edible Dave gingerbread man. We cannot wait to get started and create our very own mini animation, we are really looking forward to seeing what we can come up with. All you need to get started is the Sainsburys Story Studio App via Apple Store or Google Play.

Sainsbury’s have partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital to help families be together as over 50% of children treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital are from outside of London, so they are raising money to fund accommodation that means patients’ families can stay close by in difficult times. So if you buy The Greatest Gift animation kit £2 donation or if you buy a Gingerbread Dave 50p from every one sold goes to the Great Ormond Street Charity
